I have had a holistic facial before but the experience I had with Donna was on a different level. She really takes into account the "whole body" and she identified the stress I was feeling when she worked on my neck, shoulders and back releasing a lot of tension which I am sure was showing up in my skin which had been flaring up recently. The techniques and products she uses are exceptional and she fully restored my "glow" and I came out of the appointment with plumped up healthy looking skin. Aside from the relaxing experience I really loved that she shares tips and tools that you can take away and use at home. Her treatment room is a haven in the middle of central London so the perfect place to go if you need some calm and self care time.

I am so grateful to know Donna and to experience her wonderful facials. My skin is glowing afterwards. With Donna, my skin has received the best skincare, with top quality skin products, gua sha massage, buccal massage, and red light therapy, too. Amazing work, Donna, thank you. 😊

Donna has been treating me during my Peri-Menopause through to my Menopause - a really testing time for my skin. Each time I had a treatment it needed to be different depending on my hormones and how they were affecting my skin. I knew I was in such capable hands. Donna has a wealth of knowledge and experience, she always gives me a beautiful treatment and never makes me feel uncomfortable about my skin. Each time my skin glows for days afterwards:I can’t wait for my next treatment - which is already in the diary.Thank you Donna, we are lucky to have you.

I had a face & body treatment with Donna and loved it so much that I booked another one a couple of days later. I can really feel the difference in my skin and people said I looked more relaxed.I had Bell’s palsy and the massage and Gua Sha was very helpful in releasing tightness on that side of my face.It was such a relief to not have so much tightness in my face and neck, and it felt more like it used to before the Bell’s palsy.I so highly recommend Donna's treatments she's the best at what she does.Thank you so very much. I'll be back xxx

I visited Donna for her Face and body Gua Sha treatment today. It was terrific! Donna has a warm and caring approach. I love the firm touch on my face and the results are 2nd to none. My skin feels smooth and rejuvenated, my body feels relaxed. Thank you for a wonderful treatment!

I had a gua sha and facial with Donna. With just one session, my back that was sore for the last couple of years and felt dead, was completely changed. All of the muscle pain was gone whenever I'd stand up from bed. Treat yourself to any of Donna's sessions; guarantee that it will be a great investment. And the facial was great too.

Such a relaxing and magical experience. I instantly felt calm and at ease. Donna gave me such great advice on my skin concerns and I walked out the door with glowing skin! I also bought a gua sha and cleanser which she recommended and have LOVED using them. Can’t wait to go again! Thank you xx

I have been to see Donna twice now. I discovered her on Instagram, followed and finally paid a visit for the first time a month ago. I had the Gua Sha fusion facial with Thai Poultice. It was truly amazing. It’s much more than a facial. I work at a computer most of the day, regularly do long hours and some times find myself hunching over; my job can be hectic (sound familiar?). I told Donna this and she started off by working on my back, moved on to my shoulders and then moved on to my face. 1hr and a half of bliss. My second visit, I had puffy eyes I asked Donna if she could tackle that and she did. You may book the same facial, but it will be tailored to your needs, so not the same. I have had many facials/massages over the years and this is one of the best, if not, the best I’ve had. Donna has a lovely way about her and made me feel totally at ease. I can highly recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed!

Donna’s facial’s are quite simply first class - her knowledge, her approach, and her technique. My skin is still radiant 4 days after my facial. The experience is a real treat not just for the skin but also for the soul. Donna is a wonderful therapist.

One of the best facials I’ve ever had. Donna is an extremely pleasant person and was so gentle in her treatment. I would highly recommend the signature treatment with the buccal massage. Came out feeling refreshed and could see the difference in my face (less water rentention and puffiness). Will definitely be paying a visit again.

I had a wonderful experience with Donna. I had been experiencing pain in my neck and upper back after a period of illness. After Donna's treatment this eased significantly and an added bonus was the release of water retention, leaving my skin smoother and more even-toned. Donna was very gentle and careful with me during the treatment. Her workspace was a pleasure to visit. I felt well looked after and would not hesitate to visit again. Thank you Donna!

Donna is the only facialist I visit as she’s by far the best in her field. She’s extremely knowledgeable and gives the most amazing treatments. My skin always looks incredible afterwards and I feel deeply relaxed. She works all the areas of tension from my face and body with massage, Gua sha and reflexology. She only uses the best natural products and always gives me loads of aftercare advice. Highly recommend a treatment with her!

I have the best experience doing the Gua Sha treatment by Donna. I went on a Saturday morning. Although feeling under the weather at first due to my pregnancy, after some hesitation, I decided to keep my appointment and went. One of the best decisions I ever made. Donna is so caring, and her hands have the best touch and I felt so much better after the treatment. My skin turned better, and the materials she used was so good to smell that my whole person felt so much better afterwards!

My experiential key words for Donna’s Gua Sha treatment: Rejuvenating, Relaxing, DecompressingFull review: I have quite a stressful job, and work from home, off a laptop. Weekends are mostly DJing (leaning over decks and generally standing up in stressful noisy places, playing hard techno). Therefore, it’s safe to say I have a lot of stored up tension, stress, and even anxiety, along with the daily stresses of life ☺Donna’s treatment focused on the upper half of my body with a focus on the facial aspects. It’s called Gua Sha (she explains it better than I ever can on her website ☺). It lasted about 90 mins and it was absolutely wonderful. I came away feeling therapised, cared for, and even listened to (Donna seems to be able to elicit conversations that help to relax me, while doing the treatment). So this is the triumvirate of healing as I see it.I’m a bit picky about therapists splashing any old oil and spritzer and chemicals, and so, Donna patiently explained the provenance of all what she uses and used. For instance, she used only organic skin care by Eminence (they have replanted 20 million trees since being in business), crystal (not synthetic) Gua Sha tools, and applied a mask made of jade crystals (for the eyes), all in order to release tension, stagnant energy, and release some of the pent up energy. There was also the spritzer made from the exquisite Hierba Luisa (Lemon Verbena), which has powerful anti-oxidant properties, and helps to relax and rejuvenate the skin.She also used low-level LED lights to boost collagen production, and finished off with the Tibetan bowls for clearing chakras.Now, as a self-proclaimed rational scientist, all this was something I used to turn my nose up at. But in the past 5 years, having followed a more Buddhist/spiritual path, I see so many benefits in leveraging the habits, customs, and techniques from the far East, thus allowing us stressed Westerners to gain some benefits from that. So for that alone, I thank Donna whole-heartedly. However, the biggest gratitude goes to Donna for singlehandedly bringing something so wholesome and sacred to Rickmansworth (she also has a clinic in Covent Garden), and for me, this is noble and honourable, and the least we can do is to support her, so that she can keep supporting us all.Peace and love to you all out there

Donna does the best facials in central London. Her holistic approach means that every facial is different and adapted to my skin issues at the time. The use of gua shas, rollers and amazing products (plus a calming playlist) make this experience all the more enjoyable. And the glow you come out with is unreal and lasts for days (and I’m a sleep deprived mom so you can trust my words!!). I’ve recommended Donna to all my friends ! Go and enjoy - you won’t regret it !

I had the best coaching call with Donna. I instantly felt comfortable speaking to her. She has this warmth that makes you relax and open up. It felt really easy talking to her and not rushed at all. I have come away from the call feeling like anything is possible and really excited to take the next steps needed to get my business going. Donna helped me to see ways to make it all possible. An amazing help. If you’re thinking about having a coaching call with her then stop thinking, don’t wait, just get one booked in!! You won’t regret it!

I had a wonderful tutorial from Donna this week. She taught me how to use the tools correctly, from cleansing the skin to using the correct amount of oil on your face before you start. We used many truly beautiful tools, and I learnt the tricks of each one! It was absolutely well worth doing, I feel 100% confident on my Gua Sha journey. A brilliant kind teacher, thank you 🙏

My favourite time each month is my facial with Donna. I was drawn to Donna as she uses natural products and traditional methods to improve the skin and face. It is such an amazing treatment and well worth the money. The gua sha stones really helps to lift the face and drain any excess fluid but for me it relaxes all the tight muscles I have in my jaw, neck and upper shoulders. I absolutely love the poultice, which Donna handmakes, its heated and feels wonderful to calm the skin. My face always looks so glowing & fresh afterwards and I don't even need to wear make-up. I normally float out of the room I am so chilled out! Also Donna is such a kind and beautiful person, who I love spending time with. Thank you xxxxx

I have been for many facials over the years but I can honestly say Donna's facial was one of the best. She created a warm ambiance and made me feel relaxed and comfortable from the start. The quality of her products, holistic approach and knowledge imparted took my usual facial to the next level. I was literally floating for hours post facial. I will be back and plan to purchase some of the divine products.

Having a facial with Donna is not just a facial. It is a full body, mind and soul relaxation. Donna has hands of an angel! The room has a peaceful feel to it and all the products Donna uses are natural which I love. My skin always glows for days after my facial treatments. Donna has a wealth of knowledge with different modalities , my favourite is the gua sha fusion. She has a warm, soothing presence and she has given me loads of advice for my skin. I count the days in between my Gua Sha fusion massage!

My facial with Donna was first class, her home treatment room is clean and comfortable. I’ve had many facials in the past few years from different beauticians using different methods but I found Donna’s practice to be best by far. Donna was forthcoming with her knowledge with a list of tips for me post treatment and I was also able to buy a few of the Crystal tools that she uses in her treatments which I found very useful. I very much look forward to my my next visit with Donna.

I’ve been having facials with Donna for around 5 years and I can say, hand on heart, that this woman has magic hands. You will notice a massive difference in your face the morning after, I always look really bright and my skin looks really plump! She is highly qualified in many different techniques, my favourite being gua sha. Her treatments are so relaxing that you always feel your whole body completely unwind. It’s not just a facial.Also, she only uses completely natural ingredients, so for those people like myself who want to avoid synthetic products on the face, she is your go to.HIGHLY recommend. I haven’t been anywhere else since meeting her in 2016.

I recently undertook a consultation with Donna via Zoom. Throughout our session Donna clearly demonstrated how to do a gua sha facial. Step by step Donna talked me through the process and was very patient with all the questions I asked through the consultation. Her knowledge and understanding of this practice along with the practical tips she gave me to take care of my skin daily were exceptional. Thanks again Donna for you time

TestimonialFrom the first moment of stepping into Donna's practice I felt such a warm welcome. The soft ambient tones playing in the background, the beautiful smells and the cosy space made it feel like a little oasis.After being encouraged to lay for the 'treatment proccess', the tone was set with an intricate cleansing routine, followed by face steaming,opening and purging of the facial pours.Her slow meditative strokes gradually sent me into a deep state of blissfulness only to be furthered with her use of the gua-sha on my face and neck. Time melted away as my body lost all sense of physical weight. Her caring, healing and masterful touch was my guide in and out of consciousness.A quick peep in the mirror rewarded me with a fresh and glowing look by shaving off a good five years. Thumbs up Donna, can't wait for my next one;-)

I had the most amazing facial with Donna. I have never felt so tranquil in a facial before, she released so much tension in my face I could barely speak afterwards I was so relaxed.She combines the most amazing techniques, including gua sha, jade roller, sound and vibration healing, smudging and very advanced facial massage. She also uses beautiful, natural skincare. You can see the results instantly after the facial. My fine lines had reduced, my skin looked glowing and plump. I felt like I had received a healing treatment as well as a facial.She is the best facialist I have been to, I highly recommend her.

I saw Donna for a combined session: facial, and sound healing. The Man Facial was deeply relaxing, and I felt that I was in good hands. Donna only uses natural products, so that's a bonus. She looked after my skin and gave a much-needed light massage through the face and jaw. Blissful.Throughout the facial, Donna played soothing music and healing tones, which then became the backdrop for the sound healing. Donna expertly navigated the energetic space, sensing into my energy and adapting her actions appropriately. I felt as though I was being nurtured, gently guided to where I needed to go for the good of my body, mind, and soul.Donna Ryan *IS* the Facial Goddess - and also so much more. Don't hesitate to book in straight away, it's the best decision you'll make today.

Donna provides a wonderfully relaxing and healing facial. My skin felt amazing afterwards and I loved the fact that everything she used on my skin was natural and chemical free. I also loved how she used crystals, reiki and massage techniques during the facial as they made it all a very unique facial experience. Donna has a natural healing touch and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a facial.

I had a face & body treatment with Donna and loved it so much that I booked another one a couple of days later. I can really feel the difference in my skin and people said I looked more relaxed.I had Bell’s palsy and the massage and Gua Sha was very helpful in releasing tightness on that side of my face.It was such a relief to not have so much tightness in my face and neck, and it felt more like it used to before the Bell’s palsy.I so highly recommend Donna's treatments she's the best at what she does.Thank you so very much.

I visited Donna for her Face and body Gua Sha treatment today. It was terrific! Donna has a warm and caring approach. I love the firm touch on my face and the results are 2nd to none. My skin feels smooth and rejuvenated, my body feels relaxed. Thank you for a wonderful treatment!

I had a gua sha and facial with Donna. With just one session, my back that was sore for the last couple of years and felt dead, was completely changed. All of the muscle pain was gone whenever I'd stand up from bed. Treat yourself to any of Donna's sessions; guarantee that it will be a great investment. And the facial was great too.

Such a relaxing and magical experience. I instantly felt calm and at ease. Donna gave me such great advice on my skin concerns and I walked out the door with glowing skin! I also bought a gua sha and cleanser which she recommended and have LOVED using them. Can’t wait to go again! Thank you xx

I have been to see Donna twice now. I discovered her on Instagram, followed and finally paid a visit for the first time a month ago. I had the Gua Sha fusion facial with Thai Poultice. It was truly amazing. It’s much more than a facial. I work at a computer most of the day, regularly do long hours and some times find myself hunching over; my job can be hectic (sound familiar?). I told Donna this and she started off by working on my back, moved on to my shoulders and then moved on to my face. 1hr and a half of bliss. My second visit, I had puffy eyes I asked Donna if she could tackle that and she did. You may book the same facial, but it will be tailored to your needs, so not the same. I have had many facials/massages over the years and this is one of the best, if not, the best I’ve had. Donna has a lovely way about her and made me feel totally at ease. I can highly recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed!

Donna’s facial’s are quite simply first class - her knowledge, her approach, and her technique. My skin is still radiant 4 days after my facial. The experience is a real treat not just for the skin but also for the soul. Donna is a wonderful therapist.

One of the best facials I’ve ever had. Donna is an extremely pleasant person and was so gentle in her treatment. I would highly recommend the signature treatment with the buccal massage. Came out feeling refreshed and could see the difference in my face (less water rentention and puffiness). Will definitely be paying a visit again.

I had a wonderful experience with Donna. I had been experiencing pain in my neck and upper back after a period of illness. After Donna's treatment this eased significantly and an added bonus was the release of water retention, leaving my skin smoother and more even-toned. Donna was very gentle and careful with me during the treatment. Her workspace was a pleasure to visit. I felt well looked after and would not hesitate to visit again. Thank you Donna!

Donna is the only facialist I visit as she’s by far the best in her field. She’s extremely knowledgeable and gives the most amazing treatments. My skin always looks incredible afterwards and I feel deeply relaxed. She works all the areas of tension from my face and body with massage, Gua sha and reflexology. She only uses the best natural products and always gives me loads of aftercare advice. Highly recommend a treatment with her!

I have the best experience doing the Gua Sha treatment by Donna. I went on a Saturday morning. Although feeling under the weather at first due to my pregnancy, after some hesitation, I decided to keep my appointment and went. One of the best decisions I ever made. Donna is so caring, and her hands have the best touch and I felt so much better after the treatment. My skin turned better, and the materials she used was so good to smell that my whole person felt so much better afterwards!

My experiential key words for Donna’s Gua Sha treatment: Rejuvenating, Relaxing, DecompressingFull review: I have quite a stressful job, and work from home, off a laptop. Weekends are mostly DJing (leaning over decks and generally standing up in stressful noisy places, playing hard techno). Therefore, it’s safe to say I have a lot of stored up tension, stress, and even anxiety, along with the daily stresses of life ☺Donna’s treatment focused on the upper half of my body with a focus on the facial aspects. It’s called Gua Sha (she explains it better than I ever can on her website ☺). It lasted about 90 mins and it was absolutely wonderful. I came away feeling therapised, cared for, and even listened to (Donna seems to be able to elicit conversations that help to relax me, while doing the treatment). So this is the triumvirate of healing as I see it.I’m a bit picky about therapists splashing any old oil and spritzer and chemicals, and so, Donna patiently explained the provenance of all what she uses and used. For instance, she used only organic skin care by Eminence (they have replanted 20 million trees since being in business), crystal (not synthetic) Gua Sha tools, and applied a mask made of jade crystals (for the eyes), all in order to release tension, stagnant energy, and release some of the pent up energy. There was also the spritzer made from the exquisite Hierba Luisa (Lemon Verbena), which has powerful anti-oxidant properties, and helps to relax and rejuvenate the skin.She also used low-level LED lights to boost collagen production, and finished off with the Tibetan bowls for clearing chakras.Now, as a self-proclaimed rational scientist, all this was something I used to turn my nose up at. But in the past 5 years, having followed a more Buddhist/spiritual path, I see so many benefits in leveraging the habits, customs, and techniques from the far East, thus allowing us stressed Westerners to gain some benefits from that. So for that alone, I thank Donna whole-heartedly. However, the biggest gratitude goes to Donna for singlehandedly bringing something so wholesome and sacred to Rickmansworth (she also has a clinic in Covent Garden), and for me, this is noble and honourable, and the least we can do is to support her, so that she can keep supporting us all.Peace and love to you all out there

Donna does the best facials in central London. Her holistic approach means that every facial is different and adapted to my skin issues at the time. The use of gua shas, rollers and amazing products (plus a calming playlist) make this experience all the more enjoyable. And the glow you come out with is unreal and lasts for days (and I’m a sleep deprived mom so you can trust my words!!). I’ve recommended Donna to all my friends ! Go and enjoy - you won’t regret it !

I had the best coaching call with Donna. I instantly felt comfortable speaking to her. She has this warmth that makes you relax and open up. It felt really easy talking to her and not rushed at all. I have come away from the call feeling like anything is possible and really excited to take the next steps needed to get my business going. Donna helped me to see ways to make it all possible. An amazing help. If you’re thinking about having a coaching call with her then stop thinking, don’t wait, just get one booked in!! You won’t regret it!

I had a wonderful tutorial from Donna this week. She taught me how to use the tools correctly, from cleansing the skin to using the correct amount of oil on your face before you start. We used many truly beautiful tools, and I learnt the tricks of each one! It was absolutely well worth doing, I feel 100% confident on my Gua Sha journey. A brilliant kind teacher, thank you 🙏

My favourite time each month is my facial with Donna. I was drawn to Donna as she uses natural products and traditional methods to improve the skin and face. It is such an amazing treatment and well worth the money. The gua sha stones really helps to lift the face and drain any excess fluid but for me it relaxes all the tight muscles I have in my jaw, neck and upper shoulders. I absolutely love the poultice, which Donna handmakes, its heated and feels wonderful to calm the skin. My face always looks so glowing & fresh afterwards and I don't even need to wear make-up. I normally float out of the room I am so chilled out! Also Donna is such a kind and beautiful person, who I love spending time with. Thank you xxxxx

I have been for many facials over the years but I can honestly say Donna's facial was one of the best. She created a warm ambiance and made me feel relaxed and comfortable from the start. The quality of her products, holistic approach and knowledge imparted took my usual facial to the next level. I was literally floating for hours post facial. I will be back and plan to purchase some of the divine products.

Having a facial with Donna is not just a facial. It is a full body, mind and soul relaxation. Donna has hands of an angel! The room has a peaceful feel to it and all the products Donna uses are natural which I love. My skin always glows for days after my facial treatments. Donna has a wealth of knowledge with different modalities , my favourite is the gua sha fusion. She has a warm, soothing presence and she has given me loads of advice for my skin. I count the days in between my Gua Sha fusion massage!

My facial with Donna was first class, her home treatment room is clean and comfortable. I’ve had many facials in the past few years from different beauticians using different methods but I found Donna’s practice to be best by far. Donna was forthcoming with her knowledge with a list of tips for me post treatment and I was also able to buy a few of the Crystal tools that she uses in her treatments which I found very useful. I very much look forward to my my next visit with Donna.

I’ve been having facials with Donna for around 5 years and I can say, hand on heart, that this woman has magic hands. You will notice a massive difference in your face the morning after, I always look really bright and my skin looks really plump! She is highly qualified in many different techniques, my favourite being gua sha. Her treatments are so relaxing that you always feel your whole body completely unwind. It’s not just a facial.Also, she only uses completely natural ingredients, so for those people like myself who want to avoid synthetic products on the face, she is your go to.HIGHLY recommend. I haven’t been anywhere else since meeting her in 2016.

I recently undertook a consultation with Donna via Zoom. Throughout our session Donna clearly demonstrated how to do a gua sha facial. Step by step Donna talked me through the process and was very patient with all the questions I asked through the consultation. Her knowledge and understanding of this practice along with the practical tips she gave me to take care of my skin daily were exceptional. Thanks again Donna for you time

TestimonialFrom the first moment of stepping into Donna's practice I felt such a warm welcome. The soft ambient tones playing in the background, the beautiful smells and the cosy space made it feel like a little oasis.After being encouraged to lay for the 'treatment proccess', the tone was set with an intricate cleansing routine, followed by face steaming,opening and purging of the facial pours.Her slow meditative strokes gradually sent me into a deep state of blissfulness only to be furthered with her use of the gua-sha on my face and neck. Time melted away as my body lost all sense of physical weight. Her caring, healing and masterful touch was my guide in and out of consciousness.A quick peep in the mirror rewarded me with a fresh and glowing look by shaving off a good five years. Thumbs up Donna, can't wait for my next one;-)

I had the most amazing facial with Donna. I have never felt so tranquil in a facial before, she released so much tension in my face I could barely speak afterwards I was so relaxed.She combines the most amazing techniques, including gua sha, jade roller, sound and vibration healing, smudging and very advanced facial massage. She also uses beautiful, natural skincare. You can see the results instantly after the facial. My fine lines had reduced, my skin looked glowing and plump. I felt like I had received a healing treatment as well as a facial.She is the best facialist I have been to, I highly recommend her.

I saw Donna for a combined session: facial, and sound healing. The Man Facial was deeply relaxing, and I felt that I was in good hands. Donna only uses natural products, so that's a bonus. She looked after my skin and gave a much-needed light massage through the face and jaw. Blissful.Throughout the facial, Donna played soothing music and healing tones, which then became the backdrop for the sound healing. Donna expertly navigated the energetic space, sensing into my energy and adapting her actions appropriately. I felt as though I was being nurtured, gently guided to where I needed to go for the good of my body, mind, and soul.Donna Ryan *IS* the Facial Goddess - and also so much more. Don't hesitate to book in straight away, it's the best decision you'll make today.

Donna provides a wonderfully relaxing and healing facial. My skin felt amazing afterwards and I loved the fact that everything she used on my skin was natural and chemical free. I also loved how she used crystals, reiki and massage techniques during the facial as they made it all a very unique facial experience. Donna has a natural healing touch and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a facial.
